Hey everyone! Thank you so much to everyone who came out this past weekend! Spider-Man: Brand New Day continues to be very popular, and we were really glad to see Paw Patrol and End of Oak Street both open well too. It's a fun coincidence that both of those are dinosaur themed films sitting at complete opposite ends of the spectrum! I got a chance to see End of Oak Street myself and really enjoyed it — it's a fresh and quite enjoyable take on the classic dinosaur adventure. If you haven't seen it yet, we think you'll have a good time with it.

This week we've got four new titles opening Thursday! Insidious: Out of the Further is the latest entry in the long running horror franchise — if you're a fan of the series you know what you're in for, and if you're new to it this is as good a time as any to jump in. Mutiny is the newest Jason Statham action film, and if you enjoy his brand of no-nonsense action, this one should deliver exactly what you're looking for. And Spa Weekend looks like a fun and lighthearted time at the movies!

We do have quite a few titles wrapping up their runs this week — One Night Only, Toy Story 5, The Odyssey, and Moana are all on their way out. That's a lot of great movies to choose from, and $5 Ticket Tuesday is the perfect opportunity to catch one last showing of any of them before they're gone!

Wendesday morning is your last chance to catch The Boss Baby as part of our Summer Series — next week we wrap things up with The Croods! Kids tickets are just $2.00 and there's a special deal on our Summer Combo, so don't let the last few weeks of Summer Series slip by!

A quick note regarding our hours — with back to school time here, we'll be adjusting our schedule accordingly. Thank you as always for your continued support — it truly means everything to us. Please always check www.great8cinema.com for showtimes and tickets, and we hope to see you this week!

Hey everyone! What a weekend — Spider-Man: Brand New Day came out with an absolute bang. Second highest opening weekend ever, second only to Avengers: Endgame. That's a remarkable number, and it proves that when movie studios focus on the right things and give audiences what they're looking for, people will show up. Thank you to everyone who came out and was part of that!

This week we've got two new releases joining the lineup. First up is One Night Only — an interesting concept where laws exist against intimate relations outside of marriage, except for one day a year where breaking that law is not only allowed but encouraged. It just so happens that on this particular day, two soulmates meet for the first time. It's a unique premise and we think it's going to be a fun one. And then there's Super Troopers 3 — if you're a fan of the cult classic franchise, chances are you don't need us to sell you on this one. You already know.

This week we're doing multiple splits on our screens, so we aren't completely dropping any of our current titles just yet. That said, some of those titles will likely be wrapping up in the coming weeks, so $5 Ticket Tuesday is a great time to take in a show that might not be around much longer. Plenty of options to choose from no matter what you're in the mood for!

Our Summer Series wraps up Kung Fu Panda 4 tomorrow morning, and next week we're showing Over the Hedge! Kids tickets are just $2.00 and there's a special deal on our Summer Combo. Don't miss out on the chance to see classic kids movies for next to nothing while the summer lasts!

As always, thank you so much for your support. Head to www.great8cinema.com for showtimes and tickets, and we hope to see you this week!

Hey everyone! This past weekend was a fairly low-key one — the calm before the storm, as they say! The Odyssey continues to do well, and we've had a nice steady stream of folks coming out for Moana and Toy Story 5 as well. We appreciate every one of you who stopped in!

This week Spider-Man: Brand New Day releases, and the excitement around it is real. Any Spider-Man movie is going to draw a crowd, but this one is expected to set the stage for Avengers: Doomsday coming out in December and several more Marvel films beyond that. It's a big deal, and we expect it to be a busy week!

With that in mind, we want to ask a few things of you to help everything run as smoothly as possible. Please arrive with plenty of time to get your concessions before your show. And if you find yourself waiting in line, take a look at the menu in advance so we can move everyone through as quickly as possible — that goes a long way! Even if you're seeing a different movie, it's possible the Spider-Man lines could cause some delays. We have increased staffing on hand, but we do ask for your patience and understanding as well. We want everyone to have a great experience!

Our Summer Series continues this week with the final showing of Dog Man, and next week we kick off Kung Fu Panda 4! Kids tickets are just $2.00 and there's a special deal on our Summer Combo — a fantastic way to spend a summer morning!

As always, thank you so much for your ongoing support. It truly means the world to us. Head to www.great8cinema.com for showtimes and tickets, and we hope to see you this week!

In 5 Days we enter a Brand New Day, showtimes and online presales found at https://www.great8cinema.com/movie/SpiderMan%5FBrand%5FNew%5FDay

07/21/2026

Hey everyone! This coming week is actually a pretty rare thing in the middle of summer — we don't have any new wide releases opening. With The Odyssey just having released last week and Spider-Man: Brand New Day opening the week after next, no studio wanted to release a film caught between those two. So this week is a great opportunity to catch up on anything you've been meaning to see! Especially today $5 Tuesday!

And if The Odyssey is still on your list, please do yourself a favor and go. Some of our team got to see it last week, and there is simply no denying that it is Christopher Nolan doing Christopher Nolan things. Nationally it came out of the gate like a storm at the box office. You may have seen some negativity floating around online about certain choices he made, and we just want to offer a little friendly perspective. Social media platforms make their money when you interact with content — whether you love it, hate it, agree, or disagree doesn't matter to them. What matters is that you click, comment, or react. So a lot of what you see out there is specifically designed to either get you so excited or so worked up that you can't help but engage. If you have a source you genuinely trust for movie reviews, by all means take their thoughts into consideration. But the random clickbait trying to make you mad about a movie? Don't give it the time of day. Social media thrives on negativity, and that goes for just about anything you come across out there — not just movies. The vast majority of people who see The Odyssey are going to think it's a fantastic film, and we think you will too.

Our Summer Series continues tomorrow morning with The Secret Life of Pets, wrapping up this week's showing. Then next week we move on to Dog Man! Kids tickets are just $2.00 and there's a special deal on our Summer Combo — a great morning out for the whole family!

As always, thank you for your support. Head to www.great8cinema.com for showtimes and tickets, and we hope to see you this week!

Hey everyone! Another solid week at the movies — thank you to everyone who came out! Toy Story 5, Minions & Monsters, and Young Washington continue to draw folks in, and Moana had a nice opening week as well. We appreciate each and every one of you who made the trip out to see us!

A quick reminder — today is $5 Ticket Tuesday, which makes it a perfect day to catch Jackass before it leaves us this week. Don't let it slip away!

Coming Thursday, Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey opens up — his interpretation of Homer's ancient literary classic. If you're a Nolan fan or just a fan of big, ambitious storytelling on the big screen, this one is not to be missed.

Our Summer Series rolls on with Shrek 2 showing tomorrow morning — and next week we'll be featuring The Secret Life of Pets. At just $2.00 for kids plus a special deal on our Summer Combo, it's a fantastic way to spend a summer morning!

One thing we want to mention — we do still get quite a few phone calls asking about showtimes, and we even see folks driving by to check the signs out front. We love the dedication, but we want to make sure you always have the most accurate information! The showtimes on our exterior signs reflect that day only — any changes for the following day are updated before we close each night. For future showtimes, our website is always your best resource. We generally have the following week's showtimes posted by Monday evening, though occasionally some final decisions aren't locked in until Tuesday morning. Head to www.great8cinema.com and you'll always find the most up to date information there!

Thank you as always for your support — we hope to see you this week!

Hey everyone! We hope you had a wonderful Fourth of July weekend and that you got to spend it with people you care about. Thank you so much to everyone who made us part of your holiday plans — it really does mean a lot to us!

Toy Story 5, Young Washington, and Minions & Monsters all had a great week, so thank you for coming out and supporting those! This week we're saying goodbye to The Mandalorian & Grogu and Scary Movie, so if either of those has been on your to-do list, $5 Ticket Tuesday is the perfect time to finally check them off before they're gone!

Opening Thursday we've got two very different but very exciting new titles — the live action remake of Moana and Evil Dead: Burn, the newest entry in the cult classic horror franchise. Whether you're in the mood for something magical or something that'll keep you up at night, we've got you covered!

And don't forget — our Summer Series continues! This Wednesday morning is your last chance to catch Curious George, and next week we'll be showing Shrek 2. At just $2.00 for kids and with a special deal on our Summer Combo, it's one of the best ways to spend a summer morning. Don't miss out!
